Default Advice on a 2nd plane

Looing to buy my 2nd plane, Here is a lil about what experiance I have had.

I have had my Skyfly for about a year and have flown it about 50 times and still use the original wing and tail surfaces, I have had a few minor mishaps but nothing to ever damage the plane.

now my skyfly radio has gone to the dogs so the plane is pretty much dead.

SO my question is should I just get a skyfly 2 and keep learning (I did have alot of fun with my original skyfly) or should I go a lil deeper into the hobby and get an Electrifly rtf?

The Electrifly looks to be a great deal for a 60+" wingspan and brushless my only concern is Aleirons (sp?) as I have never flown a plane with them, Can I fly it like the skyfly and not use them (or slowly start to use them as I learn) or is the use of alierons on this plane 100% manditory as in you cant turn without them. I also think the Electrifly will provide me with more flying time as I am sure it can handle some wind better then the Skyfly thus alowing me to get out flying in less then ideal conditions that limited my use of the slyfly.

I am not limiting myself to these choices alone so if you have other reqomendations for a great 2nd plane I will look into them I would like to keep the price down to 300 CDN ish (Including plane and batts and charger)

Is there a good park flyer out there that is a medium speed, has alierons and can do nice loops?
